Anatomy of an FOB price

Where every dollar of your unit cost actually goes

Most founders blow margin because they don't know what's negotiable. This is the breakdown factories use internally, the same structure across Portugal, Turkey, Vietnam, and every country in our network. Now you have it too.

Why the numbers here are realistic

Ranges here reflect real production runs across our factory group in 15+ countries.

01
Live factory benchmarks
Ranges are updated quarterly from real quotes our factory group produces for brands across every country we operate in. Not a scraped price database from 2019.
02
Country-by-country reality
Bangladesh CMT typically runs below Vietnam, which runs below Turkey, which runs below Italy. The calculator reflects each country's actual range, not a generic "global" average.
03
What quotes don't show
Fabric, trims, MOQ tier, complexity, and tariff exposure. Factories don't break these out, especially across borders. We do, so you can plan line by line.

Calculator FAQ

Questions founders ask before they trust the number

How accurate is this calculator?
Within a realistic range of the final FOB quote you'll receive from a factory in our group, assuming your tech pack is complete. Ranges are built from real production runs across our factory group in 2024 to 2026, spanning t-shirts, knitwear, woven shirts, dresses and outerwear across 15+ countries.
What's FOB and why does it matter?
FOB (Free On Board) is the price per unit at the factory door, before shipping, duties, and last-mile. It's the number every brand should benchmark on, especially when comparing across countries with different tariff exposure. We also show you suggested wholesale and retail so you can sanity-check margin in one glance.
Do I need a tech pack to get a real quote?
Yes. The calculator gives you a directional range so you can plan. To get a binding factory quote you'll need a tech pack with measurements, BOM, stitch types, labels, and packaging. Our $79 per style tech pack service produces factory-ready files in 72 hours, accepted by any factory in our group.
What if my MOQ is below 100 units?
Our production floor is 100 units per style. Below that, you're typically looking at small-batch producers or print-on-demand, which is a different economic model with different margins. Mention it in the contact form and we'll point you to the right option.
Can I trust the factories in the PDF?
Every factory in the directory has been documented from company records, direct contact, or first-hand visits in the last 24 months. Factories in our verified tier hold recent social audits (SMETA, BSCI, SA8000) or equivalent. Factories in the broader documented set are flagged accordingly.
Is my email safe?
Yes. Single-opt-in, GDPR compliant, and you can unsubscribe with one click. We never sell or share your data with factories or third parties.
